I just wanted to say hello from Jackson, MS. My name is Karen and I just moved here from Baton Rouge. I've been crocheting for a while and spend most of my free time playing with yarns.
A note to Nocturnekh - I'm going to try to post this email as its own forum topic so that other crocheters in my part of the world won't miss it - would be great to hear from others in Hong Kong. I'm new to posting messages, so please don't think I'm nuts if and when you see this message somewhere else:
My name's Amy, my grandmother taught me to crochet when I was about eight or nine, and I took it up again about two years ago. I'm a new member of Crochet Me and have been having fun roaming around on the Forums and reading about what people are up to.
I'm originally from Long Island, NY, but since May have lived with my family in Hong Kong. I'm the mother of three girls, the youngest of whom is 5 1/2 months old, and who was born six weeks after we arrived here. It's been a busy time to say the least. I love to crochet, it provides a desperately needed creative outlet, and helps me deal with the stresses that come with living half a world away from friends and family.
I'm currently working on Jewel - a challenging, beautiful sweater from Doris Chan's "Everyday Crochet" and have been participating in a fun crochet-along on this site.
It is so interesting to be able to correspond with others who are working on the same thing.
Thanks for the good juju! Yarns are perfect playthings.

Here's to new projects!

Wow, living in Hong Kong! Bet that's not only interesting but really stressful. Do you have any trouble finding yarns or patterns in English?
Welcome, both of you!
